[Verse] Sunset’s fading, shadows crawl, Kitchen’s quiet, but I hear the call. Soap suds rising, hands worn thin, A weary heart with strength within. [Pre-Chorus] Every plate, every cup, Tells the tale of keepin’ love up. [Chorus] By candlelight, she’s washing dreams, Wiping clean the cracks and seams. Though the night is long and deep, Hope don’t let her spirit sleep. By candlelight, by candlelight, She’s holding on, she’s holding tight. [Verse] Tiny footprints on the floor, Echo laughter from before. Tired eyes but still she prays, For better days and brighter ways. [Pre-Chorus] Every splash, every rhyme, Sings the song of hands through time. [Chorus] By candlelight, she’s washing dreams, Wiping clean the cracks and seams. Though the night is long and deep, Hope don’t let her spirit sleep. By candlelight, by candlelight, She’s holding on, she’s holding tight. [Bridge] Oh, the world can wear you down, But love’s the reason she’s still around. When the night feels cold and wild, She finds the strength inside her smile. [Chorus] By candlelight, she’s washing dreams, Wiping clean the cracks and seams. Though the night is long and deep, Hope don’t let her spirit sleep. By candlelight, by candlelight, She’s holding on, she’s holding tight. [Outro] By candlelight, by candlelight, Holding on, holding tight. By candlelight… By candlelight.
